About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), formally the Research Development and Engineering Command, awarded a $7.27 million definitive contract to the University of Rochester for research and development of a predictive coding network image recognition system using a scalable analog neural network (SCAN) on June 9, 2025. The contract is priced on a cost-no-fee basis with a ceiling value of $7.27 million and an ultimate completion date of January 8, 2030.
Place of performance is Rochester, NY 14627. The originating solicitation, posted May 22, 2024 with a September 9, 2024 proposal due date, sought innovative research on scalable, robust, and power-efficient analog neural network architectures and circuits that interface directly with analog sensor outputs, targeting over 200x power efficiency gains in Phase 1 and over 2000x gains in Phase 2, with specified accuracy targets and fabricated hardware testing. DARPA anticipated multiple awards under this full-and-open solicitation with no set-aside designation.
The University of Rochester is performing as prime, with the University of California, Los Angeles (subcontract awarded December 9, 2025) and William Marsh Rice University (subcontract awarded August 26, 2025) as named subcontractors, both delivering research on predictive coding networks on dynamical systems for efficient image classification.
